TeeJay3800 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 139 in the Z34, My friend paced me in his Lighting, I hear top speed is 150 in a Z34 after you take out the limmiter... You think a 200/210HP car with so-so aerodynamics can do 150? I think not. Hell, a 275HP Z28 can only do 156. Quote
dbtk2 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 Went 122mph in my TSTE on Wednesday racing my friends Z28 ~95 driving my sisters '95 Z26 ~85 driving my other sisters '93 Olds 88, ridden in at 110 111 in my moms SSEi (according to the autotap) ~90 driving in the GTP (but it only took me 8 seconds to get there), ~125 riding in the GTP 105 driving the TGP Quote
Goph Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 around 113 in my old 95 grand am my car now cut out at 110 Quote
SleeperRed90TGp Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 184 or 5 in my 85 camed and nitrous (150 shot) 85 Corvette. 181 in an A Gas dragster a long time ago. As far as my TGP never been over 110, no idea what it will do. Oh yea, once tried to piolot a funny car. Shut off before the lights cause it wouldn't go straight, I got scared. Only went 196. It was capable of 230+ but not with me. Yea I'am a chicken. Jud Quote
White93z34 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 113 in the iron duke olds. (took an eternity to get there) 105 or so in the Z, never again (hate beating on it) 150-155ish in my friend bills 97 gtp, i was holding on for dear life. Quote
1badtgp Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 170 in my Stealth 160 in my Supra 130 in my TGP Quote
pblunt_ Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 125mph in my '91 Chavy then 1.5 seconds later I sandwiched it then I bought a lumina. 120 in '91 Lumina with a car full of people, the needle on the speedo was @ 6:30 so I'm guessing I had to slapping the gov @ 119mph. I haven't tried to go fast in my '90 Euro yet, but the fastest so far is about 90mph. Quote
SupraStar Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 You think a 200/210HP car with so-so aerodynamics can do 150? I think not. Hell, a 275HP Z28 can only do 156. If it can do 140 in 3rd gear its possible, I've seen a Svt Contour do 152, thats no more than 200 hp. The Camaro's must be geared or limmited not to go that fast, but they should have the potential to go faster. -Chris Quote

The difference in power needed to go 160 instead of 150 is HUGE though. The 405hp Z06 can only hit 170. Shawn Quote
cutsup1996 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 185 in a stock car @ Daytona ( I wasn't driving of course) 105 in a 2000 neon, rental car, clocked by oncoming cop, rest is history on that one. ~100 in my cutty, just never wanted to go any faster in it even though it felt quite controllable and sure footed Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 How come the Corvette ZR1 (back in the 90s) had a top speed of 182mph? It didn't had about the same range in HP, if not less than 405. It was a DOHC engine so maybe its got more in the top end. Yeah, the Mercury Marine built LT5 was rated at 405HP its last few years (was 375 initially). I think you're right, the higher top speed was because of the DOHC motor's stronger top end over the LS6. Unless the C4 had better aerodynamics than the C5, which I doubt. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 my friend's 1992 3000 GT VR4 172 Mph on 94 between St. Cloud and Maple Grove, it may be rice, but it's damn* fast... Quote

Guest TurboSedan Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 116mph in my Cutlass - tested when the speedo was accurate back when i had my 1st Getrag in the car. could not reach 117mph no matter what i did. right now i can only go about 104mph or so in the Cutlass - the ECM thinks i'm going 116mph (indicated), but it's been way off ever since i swapped in the 2nd Getrag i've had my GTS up to 116mph too, but that was with an extremely clogged stock exhaust and full manifold pressure to the wastegate (like 4psi). it's a whole lot faster now i've gone about 135mph in my brother's Shelby Lancer, and it could have gone faster but i think we were having enough fun as it was. joshua Quote
jeremy Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 why not just whip them out to see who is the biggest and get it over with..... Quote
pblunt_ Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 Today I took my 2 door Euro to 107 mph running back home while still punched in at work... Quote
regalized Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 133 in my regal, no shit How did you know you were doing that speed? my parents 94 Regal only has like 115 on the speedo and it doesn't feel too good at 105 w/ the mushy FE1 and old struts on it. My Reagl has a digital speedometer, they were put in the cars in 88-9? -My 01 GTP...126mph according to the HUD and then the car cut off -My 93 GP SE(3.1) - 110mph, too slow to get up any faster where I did this at... -parents 94 Regal(3.8) - 105mph -My TGP - 120mph(had to slow down since I gaining on a car quick as hell) I won't bother listing non-W's as I've driven/rode in a lot of cars doing way too fast on public roads. :oops: Quote
Lumina3.1 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 I've had my 93 Lumina Euro 3.1 up to 105, could have gone faster, but didn't wanna get caught, hehe. It didn't take too long to reach 105 either. :shock: Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 170 in a NASCAR at Michigan International Speedway (no, I wasn't driving). It was setup as a Busch car with a smaller carb that brought power down to around 650HP. http://www.tracktime.com Quote
